Blue Cruise Yacht Charters

For a memorable sailing holiday the gaff-rigged schooner Alize has unsurpassed aesthetic appeal.
Completed in the spring of 1993, she was designed and skillfully constructed from oak, mahogany, and teak. Refitted in 2003/2004 she is now a tried and tested charter yacht combining excellent sailing with luxurious comfort. Serving a superior Turkish cuisine, Alize is able to accommodate twelve guests for spacious alfresco dining on the aft deck. The dining area is protected by an awning and has additional space for lounging. The foredeck supports an equal number of cushions for sun bathing. The elegant mahogany salon has been done in style and comfort. This space can also seat twenty guests for both dining and lounging. The salon is equipped with bar, refrigerator, ice maker, television, stereo system, and library. Air-conditioned guest cabins are roomy and private, and all have en suite marble-finished water closets. There are two master suites and four cabins with double beds. Each has been carefully crafted in richly colored mahogany with ample drawer and wardrobe space, and each is carpeted.

Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning charter sailing in Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a crewed gulet charter sailing Greece and Turkey? For one or the other? Could you be searching for a large oak-framed wooden yacht charter sailing Turkey? Or for a handsome mahogany-appointed schooner charter sailing Greece? Are you dreaming of a yacht charter cruising Turkey or Greece under square topsails? As did majestic Ottoman galleons in the late-sixteenth and following centuries. Or are you hoping to sail in the wake of earlier history, wake created by banks of oars on long, sleek, galleys of early-sixteenth and prior centuries? One or the other or both? Or are your thoughts more mundane? Of pine-encircled clear-water coves? Of Greek blue and white sugar-cube encrusted islands? Of windsurfing on Greece's azure Aegean? Of kayaking along Turkey's Turquoise Coast? Of dining alfresco on the deck of your yacht? Or of dining alfresco on the stoop of a taverna fronting a caique harbor? Of octopus salad? Of the perfect octopus salad? How about doing most or all of these things aboard or from a crewed motor-sailer with luxury accommodations for twelve guests? How about chartering a crewed sailing gulet such as Alize? How about beginning your holiday with a cruise along the coast of ancient Lycia? Or with a cruise along the coast of ancient Pamphylia? Or with a cruise in the AD 904 wake created by Leo of Tripoli's 54 galleys speeding up the coasts of Ionia and Aeolis and then west to Thessalonica for a three-day visit? And then returning whence they came with 22,000 guests, former residents of that major Byzantine city, down the Aegean coast of what is now Turkey and among neighboring islands now Greek? How about doing that while you holiday? While you have an extended-family holiday aboard a crewed sailing yacht cruising these same waters? Or while a group of friends holiday with you aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from one fascinating locale to another? Leo of Tripoli, by the way, was a rascal for all seasons. A Greek renegade operating out of what is now Lebanon, he ravaged the Aegean from 904 to 924 with large fleets of Saracen galleys, calling in where he was least expected, enslaving tens of thousands. Honeymooning, too. Frequently. Why not charter a sailing yacht to celebrate your own honeymoon anniversary. To cruise the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. The Eastern Sporades. Why not charter a crewed yacht to cruise further along the coast of Turkey. Into the Sea of Marmara. As did Leo looking for another bride. Starting in Bodrum. Are you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? Well, in Bodrum or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing yacht for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you the Ceramic Gulf at Bodrum's front door, able to show you Leo's tracks down the coast of Turkey, to show you his routes up the coast of Turkey and among Greek islands. Alize, a superb crewed gulet charter sailing Greece and charter sailing Turkey. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com
